I bought this pillow several years ago and just recently got one for my cousin who was having problems with numbness in her hands and arms. The reason I got it for her was because those were the same symptoms I had been having, and this pillow solved my problem completely. She has just told me her numbness is already much better, and she's only had the pillow for a few short weeks. I think the problem was coming from a pinched nerve in my neck, but the pillow gives me just the right support so blood flow is restored. My doctor wanted to do surgery! I'm SO glad I decided to try the Tempur-Pedic Symphony pillow first.
When I went to the store to replace my Tempur pedic Classic pillow I discovered it had been discontinued. To the recommendation of a sales person I bought the Symphony. I sleep on both my side and back, however, when I roll over in the night I am not going to wake up enough to flip the pillow over, and if you are laying on the wrong side it is not comfortable. The Classic was good for either sleep position without flipping it. I have a bulging disc in my neck and so proper support is important. The Symphony does an ok job supporting my neck unless I stay in the same position over a couple of hours. Then it smashes down too much and I have to readjust. The Classic was firmer around the edges which supported my neck all night and my head rested in the less firm center. Tempur pedic needs to bring back the Classic pillow!
I bought my Symphony pillow 2 months ago and I feel my search for the perfect pillow is over. I've tried just about every type of pillow out there. The Symphony has just the right softness with enough firmness to not go flat. Other memory foam where hard as a rock or so soft, my head would eventually sink in so far I'd lose the soft feel under my head. Symphony has the best combination of both softness and support. The feeling is of a higher quality memory foam. We spend one third of our life in bed, why not make it the best experience we can. I can definitely say I sleep better now. Thank You, Tempurpedic!
I purchased the Tempur-Sympony pillow in july of 2014. I have suffered from headaches at the base of my scull almost on a daily bases since I was 20 years old. I am 58 now. I sleep on my back and side and have tried many different types and shaped pillows. About 3 weeks after I started sleeping on this pillow I noticed that I was experiencing fewer headaches and after a month of sleeping on this pillow I was hardly having any headaches at all. Four months after sleeping on this pillow I am completely headache free! After all these years of taking ibuprofen for my headaches and wondering what was causing them (and I have seen a doctor about them) you can imagine how happy I am. Their is no other explanation for this, I am doing nothing different other than sleeping on my Sympony pillow. Needless to say I absolutely love this pillow I just wish I had purchased it a long time ago.
